"Fathi Harb should have had something to live for but last week the 21 year old extinguished his life in an inferno of flames in central Gaza. It is believed to be the first example of a public act of self-immolation in the enclave. Bouazizi's self-immolation suggests its power to set our consciences on fire..."

"Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said on Sunday he is seeking to ban Palestinian prisoners who are members of Hamas from watching the World Cup. The minister said he had asked the Israel Prison Service to 'put pressure on jailed members of Hamas.'

'Prisoners who support terrorism cannot benefit from a sporting competition which unites populations,' the minister said. About 6500 Palestinians are detained in Israeli prisons..."

"Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich just flew to Tel Aviv an instant Israeli citizen because he's Jewish. He won't pay tax for ten years because he's Jewish. Palestinians caged in Gaza try to return to former homes in Israel and they get a sniper's bullet..."

"We are under a violent attack. Fear and horror is prevailing everywhere here in Gaza. We're dying a thousand times while listening to these massive explosions. The light of the bombardings that enlighten the prevailing darkness is traumatizing us."

"Canada strongly condemns the mortar attacks launched on Israeli civilians from Gaza, one of which damaged a Kindergarten. Such acts of violence are unacceptable & severely threaten the long term goal of just and lasting peace. Our thoughts are with everyone affected."

So glad the word is finally getting out to the rest of the world about the essential backwardness of this place and its politics, where 20,000 in Toronto will march for Israel and only 200 will show up against it.

"Israel's official propaganda app is sharing a tweet by Justin Trudeau condemning Hamas and Islamic Jihad for rocket attacks. Remember that it took 45 days of lethal force against protestors in Gaza [including the shooting of a Canadian doctor!] before he released a weak, passive voice statement criticizing Israel."

Palestine's Mansur Urges Security Council to Protect Defenseless People of Palestine from Israel (and vid)

"Palestinian representative in the UN, 'We totally reject that narrative driven by Israel, the Occupying Power, which remains unrelenting in its attempt to distort the realities we face, repeatedly casting itself as the victim, when it is the occupier, aggressor and oppressor."

"It is just 2 weeks since US President Donald Trump defied nearly the entire international community, and his own military advisors, and moved the US embassy in Apartheid Israel to Jerusalem. Israel celebrated this event by killing 60 unarmed, peaceful Palestinians who were participating in a demonstration to demand their internationally guaranteed right of return.

These protesters were not on Israeli land; they were on Palestinian land, but this did not prevent Israeli snipers from shooting thousands of them..."

"An Israeli sniper shot and killed Razan Al Najjari, a 21 year old Palestinian nurse known for her daily presence at the Great Return March in Gaza. Her memory as a hero and angel of mercy will outlast her murderer."

"The murder of 21-year-old medical volunteer, Razan Al Najar, is a direct violation of all international treaties and conventions that ensure the protection of medical staff in the conflict zones, Palestinian Minister of Health, Jawad Awwad, said late Friday, noting that the shooting of the paramedic must have been deliberate and amounted to a war-crime..."

"Last night in front of a zionist audience in Toronto, Canada's ambassador to Israel Deborah Lyons recited the long list of Canadian politicians who have made the pilgrimage to the world's Mecca of apartheid in the last 2 years.

In the course of doing so, the esteemed ambassador revealed that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu is very anxious to develop artificial intelligence with Canada, and that the Canadian and Israeli governments 'are back and forth - learning from one another,' on 'public safety'.

So Canada's government is working closely on 'public safety' and artificial intelligence with a corrupt, racist, war-criminal. What could possibly go wrong?"

"A few days ago, Reetaj Hanada celebrated her 6th birthday in the hospital with her father Mohammed, who was shot and injured by IOF while participating in the Great Return March protests. Today Reetah is mourning her father who died of his wounds."

"An urgent call for solidarity in support of justice and peace for Palestine, especially reaching out to Canadian Jews of Conscience. Become members of Independent Jewish Voices Canada. Increase our numbers. Join today -- don't wait! We are not a fringe organization. We are the voices! Let's make sure we are heard!"

"These murders are being committed in our names. Every Jew and every Jewish institution must forcefully and unequivocally condemn this. Which side are you on?"

"Speaking to QNN, Razan's mother said her daughter only fought the Israeli occupation with her medical kit and was murdered for helping wounded demonstrators who were demanding their civil rights.

'Send our message to the world: Keep sleeping...Keep sleeping until we are killed one by one while you remain silent. You paved the way for them to do this to us. You must act and not remain silent. You have to stand up and see the injustice Palestinians are facing."

"...Western governments and media have fashioned, and are doing their utmost to sustain, an ethico-political universe where Israel can lay siege to a million people, bomb them occasionally, and then kill them when they show up at the wall to throw rocks. Is there a way anymore of not seeing the racism of Zionism?

The price of a Jewish state is the permanent and irrevocable violation of Palestinians' rights...If you support Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state in a country whose indigenous Palestinian people today form half the population, then you must come to terms with the inevitability of massacres..."

Which is why, in Toronto, 20,000 'Walk With Israel' and only 200 stand against. While the liberals sit on their fenceposts, avert their eyes from the murdering, ignore the collaboration of their 'representatives' and keep the great, shameful omerta of their silent support.

"This Palestinian from Gaza challenged Canada's Trade Minister's promotion of the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement during a meeting with the Israeli Trade Minister: 'If you respect Canadian values, then enforce the boundaries of international law and hold Israel accountable!"

"Curiously, the 'former journalist' has trouble acknowledging the truth about the massacre and murders in Gaza of innocents, including young Palestinian medics and journalists. So, I clarified it for her."

You are the 'International Community' Gazan Palestinians hope will see their sacrifice and do something to help. You can start by telling your 'representatives' to STOP SUPPORTING MURDEROUS, APARTHEID ISRAEL!

Should 'Jewish Heritage Month' be used as a cover for Israeli nationalism and to suppress Palestinian protests? A recent incident at a Toronto high school demonstrates the depravity of the pro-Israel lobby..."

It is more insidious then you let on......just attended a very successful protest against the Jewish National Fund, in Vancouver, a key player from Canada in the legitimizing of the occupation forces in Palestine, supported by the Government of Canada via RCA's charitable donations status....but for Canada and via its media it was a non event...interesting to note that the majority of the people in protest were from immigant to Canada populations, clearly populations who's voices don't count with our prestigious media....

Canadians may in fact be concerned about the growing cataclysms we face........but you'll never know by watching our MSM...they must be condemned and challenged legally on this....endless legal challenges are necessary, based on Sectiion 3 of the Charter, and in this case, Canada's own Anti terrorist Act, based on the Rome Convention establishing the International Criminal Court.

"Tamimi family has lost another member to Israeli terror. Palestinian teenager Izz ad Din Tamimi has died of his critical wounds, sustained shortly ago, by Israeli bullets in the village of Nabi Saleh."

"It is absurd for EU in Israel to try to pinkwash Tel Aviv as a lovely progressive place. The Israeli apartheid regime doesn't allow marriage between Jews and Palestinians of non-same-sex, let alone same-sex marriage of any kind..."

"Israeli Occupation Forces killed 4 Palestinians, including a child, and injured hundreds more on the 11th consecutive Friday Great March of Return rallies in Gaza. Reporters Without Borders has urged the International Criminal Court to investigate Israel's targeting of journalists in Gaza as war crimes. Israeli forces has also continued to target health workers. In a poignant act, Razan al Najjari's mother - at one point donning her daughter's bloodstained vest - helped treat injured protestors on Friday. Many Muslims around the world mark the last Friday in Ramadan as International Al Quds Day, to express support for Palestinians who oppose Israel's occupation of Jerusalem..."

"If the protest by Palestinian youth in Ramallah and the West Bank continue against the sanctions and blocked system imposed on Gaza by Israel and the PA, we will soon see the collapse of this system..."

"...The Zionist movement has a long history of seeking and making alliances with fascists, including Nazis. Now the relationship between Israel and Europe's far-right is being refounded on shared values of extreme, resurgent ethno-nationalism, xenophobia and a hatred of Muslims that carries ominous echoes of the anti-Semitism which in the past preceded genocide...

UN General Assembly Adopts Resolution on Protecting Palestinian Civilians Following Rejection of US Amendment To Condemn Hamas Rocket Fire. Illegal Israeli Actions in Occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

"...Deplores the use of any excessive; disproportionate and indiscriminate force by the Israeli forces against Palestinian Civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and particularly in the Gaza Strip, including the use of live ammunition against civilian protesters, including children, as well as medical personnel and journalists, and expresses its grave concern at the loss of innocent lives,

Demands that Israel, the occupying power, refrain from such actions and fully abide by its legal obligations and responsibilities under the fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Person in Time of War, of 12 August 1949;

4. Deplores any acts that could provoke violence and endanger civilian lives and calls upon all countries to ensure that protests remain peaceful.

5 Also deplores the firing of rockets from the Gaza Strip against Israeli civilian areas;

10. Also calls for immediate steps towards ending the closure and the restrictions imposed by Israel on movement and access into and out of the Gaza Strip, including through the sustained opening of the crossing points of the Gaza Strip for the flow of humanitarian aid, commercial goods and persons in accordance with international law..."

"...The representative of Canada expressed concern that the resolution did not explicitly refer to Hamas and its role in recent violence. For that reason, Canada had supported the United States' amendment. On the main text, he had hoped that it would have more clearly reflected the situation on the ground, and therefore he had abstained..."

CIJA - "Canada is a friend of Israel and has been a world leader in opposing initiatives aimed at isolating and singling out our close ally. While we acknowledge Canada's support for the proposed yet ultimately unsuccessful amendment condemning Hamas, it is deeply disappointing and troubling that the Government chose to abstain on today's General Assembly resolution..." - CIJA : Canadian. Jewish. Advocacy.

"Wonderful ceremony this morning as Lyons in Israel presented IDF-WO with 50 Blue Jays tickets donated by Herb and Barry Singer of Toronto for the Israeli kids travelling to Canada..." [What about baseball tickets for Palestinian kids locked up in the Jewish State's Gaza concentration camp? Why only for children of the IDF?]

"The Jewish people and the Jewish race are of the highest human capital that exists. What can you do? We were blessed by God...and I will continue to say that at every opportunity. I don't have to be ashamed about the Jewish people being the Chosen People, the smartest, most special people in the world."

"Israeli sniper shot a woman's finger off as she was making a victory sign far from Gaza fence, an eye-witness told HRW."

"The international community needs to rip up the old playbook where Israel investigates itself and the US blocks accountability with its UN Security Council veto', Sarah Lea Whitson, the group's ME director states. Whitson says the world must begin to 'impose real costs' on Israel for its 'blatant disregard for Palestinian lives.' 'Third countries should impose targeted sanctions against officials responsible for ongoing serious human rights violations,' HRW says."

"Montreal synagogues are stepping up to purchase a firefighting trailer that will help in the fight to save Israeli farmland from Gazan incendiary kites. An amazing way for Canadians to support Israeli first responders and farmers!"

"One of the facts about Gaza's non-violent resistance is that it can't succeed without our support any more than the African-Americans in the South could have brought about desegregation successfully on their own."

Canadian complicity and/or studied indifference to Israeli crimes of ethnic cleansing, especially by Canadian 'representatives' must not continue. The presence of active Zionists who work for Israel while holding political office must also stop. You can help. Why don't you? Send this program to your representatives and support BDS.

"The former congressman Brian Baird once said that when you criticize Israel even privately to Israeli officials, they flip out on you, even if you're a congressman; and this is the most important take away of the wonderful Birthright walkout that happened yesterday and that is now all over the Jewish press.

A group of five young American Jewish women on their free propaganda trip to Israel kept demanding information about the occupation, and at last left the group to join a tour of occupied Hebron by the Israeli dissident group Breaking the Silence. And the Israelis went crazy..."
